What it actually is

Paiboon's app pairs a large Thai–English dictionary with human-recorded audio for essentially every headword, plus a categorised phrasebook, and it works fully offline — which is the point when you are standing in a market with no signal. Search tolerates rough spelling and transliteration, a real advantage while your reading is shaky. It is a one-off paid app on iOS, Android and Windows, and the interface looks its age.
